A Very Old Friend A Very Old Friend Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Mary's the name of his latest flame Though I smiled, the tears inside were all burning I wished him a look and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Mary's the name of his latest flame Yeah, Mary's the name of his latest flame Oh, Mary's the name of his latest flame
